Accessories
It is important to choose the correct guards, backing pads and
flanges to use with grinder accessories. Refer to pages 14 and 15 for
information on choosing the correct accessories.
WARNING:
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recom mended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories
running over their rated accessory speed may fly apart and cause
injury. Threaded accessories must have a 5/8"-11 hub. Every
unthreaded accessory must have a 7/8" (22.2 mm) arbor hole. If it
does not, it may have been designed for a circular saw. Use only the
accessories shown on pages 14 and 15 of this manual. Accessory
ratings must always be above tool speed as shown on tool nameplate.
Mounting Guard
MOUNTING AND REMOVING GUARD (FIG. 4)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding wheels,
cutting wheels, sanding flap discs, wire brushes, and wire
wheels.
The tool may be used without a guard only when sanding
with conventional sanding discs. A Type 27 guard (intended for
use with depressed center grinding wheels [Type 27 and Type
29], sanding flap discs, wire wheels and wire cup brushes) is
available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service
center. Grinding and cutting with wheels other than Type 27 and
29 require different accessory guards not included with tool. A
Type 1 guard is provided for use with the Type 1 wheel. Mounting
instructions for accessory guards are shown below and are also
included in the accessory package.
1. Open the guard latch (K), and align the

lugs (L) on the guard with the slots on
the gear case (M). This will align the
lugs on the guard with the slots on the
gear case cover.
2. Push the guard down until the guard
lugs engage and rotate freely in the
groove on the gear case hub.
3. With the guard latch open, rotate
the guard (I) into the desired working
position. The guard body should be
positioned between the spindle and
the operator to provide maximum
operator protection.
4. Close the guard latch to secure the
guard on the gear case. You should
not be able to rotate the guard by hand when the latch is closed.
Do not operate the grinder with a loose guard or the clamp lever
in open position.
5. To remove the guard, open the guard

latch, rotate the guard so that the
arrows are aligned and pull up on the
guard.
NOTE:
The guard is pre-adjusted to the
diameter of the gear case hub at the
factory. If, after a period of time, the guard
becomes loose, tighten the adjusting
screw (N) with clamp lever in the closed
position with guard installed on the tool.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten the adjusting screw with the clamp
lever in the open position. Undetectable damage to the guard or the
mounting hub may result.
